The Maury County native was the son of the late Mick E. Hines and Dorothy Cook Hines. He was a member of the Sandy Hook United Methodist Church. Murray was an avid cattleman. He developed a love for farming while working on his uncle Howard Cook's farm as a child in Hickman County and later raised Hereford, Charolais, Santa Gertrudis and Angus cattle, tobacco, corn and hay on his own farm. He was a member of the Maury County Cattleman's Association and of the Charolais and Angus Cattle Associations.
Murray met Dallas Olean Joiner in 1950 and after a 9 month courtship, were married on February 13, 1951 and remained married for 57 years. Murray became the father of 5 children, 4 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.
Murray began his work career at the Hamilton Drug Store while still in high school. After graduating from Hay Long High School in 1948, he began working for the Wool Mill. In 1949 at the age of 19, Murray began work at the Victor Furnace Plant in Mt. Pleasant. In 1957, he transferred to the Organic Plant as a B-operator and then worked his way up. He became foreman over theT1 and Intermediate Units and later became straight Day Foreman over all units. He eventually became Safety Director over the entire plant and retired from that position in 1990. Victor changed ownership several times becoming Stauffer Organic, Cheeseborough/Ponds, Unilever, ICI and Zeneca during his almost 42 year career with the company.
